Miss Lucinda Sadler, maiden lady,
died at her home in this community on
Monday, the 18th ult., after short illness
from fever. She was about fifty years
old and was respected for her energy and
frugality. She was a member OF Ruha-
nah Church, and her memory will be
cherished by the entire membership as
well as the community at large. Her re-
mains were laid to rest in the graveyard
of the above Church on the following day
Rev. A. NJ. Attaway conducting the
funeral services. -
A few days ago, while Messrs, Matthew
Parker and T. J. Holland were returning
from Hartwell, Ga, in one-horse wagon,
ON hill near Holland ferry, the cuff that
holds the shaft to the axle gave way and
the horse ran away. Mr.. Holland escaped
without injury, but Mr.. Parker received
painful W ound on bis leg by g kick from
the horse. We are glad to say he is doing
very well, and with proper care will soon
be all right again.
Rev. II. N. Allen preached an excel
lent sermon at Ruhamah on Sunday night,
the 18th ult., on temperance. We would
like to give synopsis Of his sermon, but
do not think it necessary, as he has made
himself felt in various parts Of the Coun.
ty on this subject. His discourse was
well gotten up, and was listened to by an
appreciative audience. s.ai
Mr.. W. A. Hollands 8 store was broken
into on last Thursday night, and guam
tity of goods stolen, consisting of bacon
and cauned goods principally. Only a
small amount of money was taken. The
thief gained entrance by prizing open a
window.
A few days ago at Colored Sunday
School Celebration, rather suspicious
looking white man made his appearance
under the guise of lemonade vender,
But some Of our young men thinking
that something shade stronger than
lemonade was has real business, paid him
visit and informed the gentleman that
his room was more acceptable than his
company, and it is said the way he made
tracks would have made Maud S ashamed.
1t is undoubtedly a foregone conclusion
that no set Of men belonging to the tramp
tribe shall canvass this section, dissemna-
ting news among the unsuspecting. If
whiskey is SUCH blessing to the country
as they claim, why so much sneaking ?
Why not make a straight out honest
fight and let the matter stand on Its own
merit? Truly drowning man will catch
at straws. The question should be, has
the liquor traffic done more good than
harm If the former is proven, then by
all means let US have it, and if the latter
is proven then by all means our anti
friends should at least give us fair show
ing in the matter and givo us chance to
crush it.
The prohibition list recently sent up
from this place with some of the most
vigorous advocates Of the whiskey cause
names there on has caused small Cyclone
in this section. 1t seems that there is a
Benedict Arnold in the camp. There has
been various threats made in regard
thereto, and we would be glad that the
matter was traced, and find out the guilty
ones. Any person that will be temper
ance man in Temperance crowd and an
anti In a whiskey crowd, deserves the
condemnation Of every person In the
lnnd, and we firmly bell eve that this pa.
Der was sent up by just such person,
that the temperance cause might be over
thrown in its hour of success. Judas's
descendants are some of them alive yet,
we are sorry to say, and some OF them
would take good deal less than thirty
pieces of silver for the future welfare OF
this country.
are needing rain. We have had several
Season, but we are still hopeful, Us the
rains get nearer every day and we sup
pose our turn will come after awhile.
Some think the crops are seriously in
iured, while others contend that with good
rains soon that we will not be hurt.
Rev. B. Nj. Pack preached one of his
best sermons on last Sunday at Shiloh.
He showed the Inconsistency Of pro.

admonished all to look well before cast

Mr.. B. F. Earle, of whom we spoke Of
some time ago as having premium acre
of cotton, has as good crop as we have
seen. He has ton aGras of bottom corn
planted since since harvest that will
average five feet high. He prepared his
land we'll, worked it fast, which accounts,
to a considerable degree for its rapid
growth. His brag acre, which lies be-
tween two branches, is doing fine. 1t is
now locked in the middle and the rows
are over four feet wide. He also has an
acre of the Peterkin cotton that is truly
splendid. He calculates that with good
bales Of ootton on it. ReH is a splendid
farmer. He keeps a record CT the cost
OF the crops that he raises, an example of
which others of ollr farmers would do
